Happy Friday!
Today starts a brand new theme for PDE Linky Party, & it's all about 3D projects.

Did you know you can get great project ideas from the PROJECT IDEA section in the Stampin' Up store?! There are lots of ideas there, but if you need even MORE ideas, check out my webstore section called GREAT IDEAS!

I made these super simple cards,
the custom envelopes using the Envelope Punch Board,
AND
a little storage box for them.

The storage box idea came from another crafter who said she doesn't even know who designed this originally. Here are the instructions so you can make one too. Super easy!

Card Box Holder

Outside

6 x 10 1/4 cardstock

Score 4 1/2 and 5 5/8

Front layering

4 1/4 x 5 3/4 cardstock

4 x 5 1/2 designer series paper

Inside pocket

4 x 11 cardstock 

Score 2 1/4, 3 1/4, 7 3/4, and 8 3/4

Turn and score 1"

Pocket layering

4 x 2 1/2 designer series paper

Belly Band

2 1/2 x 12 cardstock

2 1/4 x 12 designer series paper

Building your Card Box Holder

Outside

Use a bone folder to crease scores for spine. 

Go ahead and layer the cardstock and designer series paper, then adhere to outside of box.

Inside Pocket

Use a bone folder to crease all score lines. Cut score lines 1 inch up to crossing score lines.

Layer front pocket pieces and adhere.

Flip over.

Fold up these pieces and apply tear and tape EXCEPT to the large middle piece. This will be the bottom of your pocket and will not adhere to anything.

Fold up both sides to create side spines.

Fold both sides in toward back of pocket to create a box.

Adhere pocket box to inside bottom of the holder.

Belly Band

Layer designer series paper onto cardstock.

Gently fold around box with overlapping part in back.

Create soft creases where band folds around holder, remove, and score soft crease lines with bone folder.

Add ribbon and punched acorn to front for decorations. I frayed the ends of my ribbon just for a different look.  You can also adhere part of the ribbon to the back of the belly band for more stability, but this is optional.

Finish:

Stuff your handmade cards and envelopes (envelopes are too easy with the Stampin' Up Envelope Punch Board!) into your Card Holder. Depending on the thickness and layering of your cards, you may be able to get anywhere from 4 cards and envelopes to 12.

This is a great organizational / storage idea for your craft room, but also a great gift!
